Your text is still a Text object. You need to convert the text object to a group of Path objects, using the Path -> Object to Path command.
Don't forget to save your changed file.

If I select either the blue button or the text and then click Path->Object to path, the line at the bottom of the screen reads "No objects to convert to path in the selection".

Your text is grouped and it also has no defined fill. Select the text and ungroup first, then with it still selected, object to path, then give it a white fill. Save and it should now work.

I have used parameters 188 thru 195 to assign buttons to the predefined "One Shot" cycles and parameters 196 thru 199 to run Macros. I would like to assign more buttons to run macro's. I have read the VCP manual and I am still not finding the answer.

The format is a little different for the Allin1 VCP, but page 28 of the manual under "VCP Auxiliary Keys and Macro Assignments" should have what you're looking for. There are 16 auxiliary key slots in total and you're currently using 12 of them through parameters 188-199. Aux 13-16 are parameters 292-295. Might have to do some reformatting with the button locations and text. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Didn't know about "Aux 13-16 are parameters 292-295" but right there it is. So once these four parameters are used up. That's all that can be used?tylerintesting wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 12:26 pmThe format is a little different for the Allin1 VCP, but page 28 of the manual under "VCP Auxiliary Keys and Macro Assignments" should have what you're looking for.

Not everything has to be done through CNC12 parameters.
If you need more VCP keys to do more things, review the PLC programming materials. If you want to control machine functions (turning accessory devices on and off via PLC relays) that can be done in the PLC program without involving CNC macros.
If you want CNC12 to run more than 16 different CNC macros in response to VCP keys, see "SV_SYS_MACRO".
